Urban planning and climate: how to integrate risk into project planning

Monday, February 3, 2025

Climate change calls for a complete rethink of planning models. Anticipate, simulate, adapt: three levels of intervention to build truly resilient projects.

From environmental diagnosis to resilience strategy

Hydrological, microclimatic and ecological diagnostics identify a site's structural vulnerabilities. Arkoris builds cross-case scenarios (biodiversity, heat islands, infiltration) to guide project design.

Albedo reduction, useful vegetation, living soil

In the face of heat waves, the response cannot be solely plant-based. It must be local, measurable and replicable. This implies a logic of real infiltration, targeted plant density and materials with adapted thermal inertia. Bioclimatic engineering becomes a given in design.

Towards neighborhoods with a positive adaptation balance

In addition to carbon targets, neighborhoods need to demonstrate their ability to absorb shocks: thermal peaks, network saturation, health crises. This resilience must be documented, auditable and compatible with the indicators used by landlords and local authorities.

Conclusion

Arkoris combines thermal, hydraulic and ecological engineering to design projects with integrated climatic performance. Today's requirement, tomorrow's standard.
